Borderless Education

The context is clear, educators must develop comprehensive global competencies that are grounded in culturally responsive foundations to create classrooms that are inclusive and offer a curriculum that is rich in identities, relevant, and borderless. This book builds on the work of scholars who have called for culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining pedagogies while centering the importance of global competencies in education. The authors share a new integrative pedagogical framework that bridges the gap between culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogies and global teacher education. Contributing authors showcase various strategies proving the value of embedding culturally centered global competencies in teacher preparation and classrooms. Each contributed chapter ends with a series of questions designed to elicit critical thinking; promote the development of human-centered pedagogies; and inspire work that supports inclusion, belonging, and acceptance.
